Saturday Snapshot- Hershey Zoo

A couple weeks ago there was a staff development day on a Friday, so we took the kids on a day trip to Chocolate World, Zoo America and Cabella's.  I had my camera the whole time, but didn't really take that many pictures.  We have a zoo membership to our local zoo and, with it, we get free or discounted admission to some other zoos.  This is one of them.  Our local zoo does not have a bear so the kids were thrilled to see one!  

Along with the bear there was a reptile house, which we do not have at our local one either.

Not the end of the bear I would have liked to have gotten in the shot, but with the glass it felt like you were so close to it!  They loved looking at it through the window.

  1. What fun! I'm not a big fan of the reptile house. Always afraid a little "Harry Potter" will come along and vanish the glass. LOL

  2. The animals never agree to pose, do they? :) Looks like a fun day!

  3. Holy smokes! That polar bear really is gigantic next to the kids! And he posed better than the real deal ...!! Wink, wink! Isn't that always the way, though?

  4. Zoos are so much fun for kids! I especially like that 'how do you measure up' wall . . . it's hard to imagine otherwise just how big a bear is. You'd NEVER want to get that close to a real one ;)

  6. The large predators are so much fun to see at the zoo (my favorites are the monkeys & apes though). :)

  7. A day at the zoo is always fun, never mind that sometimes the pictures don't turn out exactly the way you'd like :-)
